Re: [ARSCLIST] Brunswick Records rights

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

just a footnote:  I believe that Brunswick recordings are partly owned 
by ARC/Columbia (now Sony-BMG), and partly owned by US Decca (now 
Universal).  I heard a story many years ago that a Bing Crosby session 
spanned the change of ownership, and that some of the sides owned by 
Decca were inadvertantly issued on a Columbia LP-when the error was 
realised some quick negotiations resulted in some exchange of masters 
between the companies......anyone know that actual date of the division, 
or details of the Crosby arrangement??
Both companies have used the label the 45/lp era.
Best wishes, Thomas.
